This is not about starting over.
It is about redesigning.
If your career no longer represents who you are today, you probably do not need to throw it all away. You need a method to use everything you have already built in a different way.
A career change that builds on
what you already have
Career Redesign Mentorship is a ten week one-to-one programme for experienced professionals going through a career change. Along the way you apply self-knowledge, design thinking and prototyping to your own trajectory: you understand what you have built, find out what actually needs to change, test real paths with people in the market, and finish with a plan you validated yourself.
The problem is not a lack of clarity.
It is a lack of evidence.
You have reflected. You have read, taken the tests, talked it through with people close to you. And still, when it comes to deciding, it all feels like a bet.
- You have several possible ideas and none of them properly tested
- You know what you would like to do, but not whether anyone would pay for it
- You are afraid of making a big decision based on intuition alone
- You have been through processes that ended in reflection, not in a plan
- You do not want to quit first and only then find out whether it works
- You need someone alongside you, not more content to consume
Reflecting on your own does not become direction. Evidence does.
Do you recognise yourself
in any of these?
For professionals with a built trajectory, in technology, management, innovation and related fields. Focused on 40+, without excluding anyone living the same moment at another age.
- Get off autopilot without putting everything at risk
- Find out whether there is a path beyond your current role
- Test consulting or mentoring work before deciding
- Redesign your role from inside the company
- Have a clear criterion for when it is time to leave
- Stop taking on whatever project comes along
- Define a position that supports higher pricing
- Turn your experience into a product or a programme
- Validate a new line of work before investing in it
- Build predictability instead of living off referrals
Redesigning is not
switching careers
In many cases the next chapter happens within the same field. What changes is not your expertise. It is the model through which you put it into the world.
You do not need to become someone else. You need to use what you know in a different way.
Redesign from within
Stay employed and change the role, the scope or the problems you solve. Without changing field and without changing company.
Build alongside
Keep the job and develop your own line of work alongside it, with controlled time and risk, until it can stand on its own.
Change the model
Stay in the field you know, but stop selling hours of work and start selling knowledge, method or outcome.
The route is chosen in week 8, never before. After you have tested the paths with real people and have evidence on the table. Deciding this in week one would mean choosing without data, which is exactly the mistake the method exists to prevent.
It all starts with self-knowledge
Before week one you complete the Personal Map: an Enneagram-based assessment with a three hour one-to-one debrief. This is not extra content. It is the foundation everything else is built on.
Enneagram profile
Your core motivation, your structuring fear and the two patterns that most sabotage your professional decisions.
Wheel of Life
Where your career genuinely pinches and where it holds you up. Which area is asking for change and which one needs protecting.
Three hour debrief
The result is not emailed to you. It is opened and worked through live, with you, before the programme begins.
Why this comes first and not halfway through. A Type 5 and a Type 3 get stuck at different points, for opposite reasons, and need different interventions. Someone who over-researches needs a deadline. Someone who rushes needs a brake. Without that lens from day one, the mentor only discovers your pattern in week six, when half the process is already gone.
Open twice.
Then narrow twice.
The process follows the Double Diamond, the design thinking model from the British Design Council. First you understand the problem. Only then do you look for the solution. And each stage has a moment to expand and a moment to narrow.
Why this matters. Most people skip the entire first diamond and go straight to looking for solutions to a problem that was never defined. That is why they change jobs and feel the same thing six months later. Here you only start looking for paths after you know exactly what needs to change.
Five steps, in the right order
The Redesign Ladder. Each step answers one question and ends with a document in your hands. You always know where you are.
What have you already built?
A picture of your real assets: problems you know how to solve, decisions you know how to make, your network and your scars.
What actually needs to change?
Your values read through the decisions you have made. Where the dissatisfaction actually lives.
Which path survives the real world?
Two experiments run with real people. Four weeks to generate evidence, not opinion.
How does this become your next offer?
Model, audience and pricing defined from what you heard in the field. Plus the criterion that tells you when to move.
How do you sustain this on your own?
How to show up, at what pace and for whom. A plan for the coming months with a review already booked.
Business model innovation,
applied to your career
None of this was invented from scratch. The method combines established tools from self-knowledge, product design and innovation, adapted to the redesign of a professional trajectory.
Enneagram
The typology system most widely used in leadership development. Here it personalises how each stage is run.
Double Diamond
The design thinking model that separates defining the problem from searching for the solution. It is the architecture of the process.
Working Identity
The research showing that professional identity is discovered by testing, not by planning. The basis of the Prototype step.
Job Crafting
An academically evidenced methodology for redesigning your own job from within, without changing employer.
Business Model You
The business model canvas applied to a person. Except here it comes after validation, not before.
The strangler fig pattern
How you modernise a system that cannot stop running: one part at a time, with real traffic. Exactly like a career.
None of these is a module in the programme. They are the foundations the method was built on, absorbed into a single language so you do not have to study theory. You use the tools. I take care of the method.
From doubt to a well-founded decision
In ten weeks you do not leave with insights. You leave with material you produced yourself and can act on.
A clear picture of everything you have built and which of it still has market value
An honest diagnosis of what to keep, what to change and what can already be left behind
Two paths tested with real people in the market, not with assumptions
A concrete offer, with audience and pricing defined, anchored in what you heard
A plan for the coming months and the objective criterion that tells you when to take the next step
Change on your own
or change with a method
Anyone can change career on their own. The question is how much time and how much money it costs.
Deciding in the dark
- You reflect, but never test with the market
- You pick a path out of desire, not out of evidence
- You find out whether it works after you have already quit
- You get generic advice that would fit anyone
- You end up with scattered notes and no plan
Deciding with evidence
- Four weeks dedicated to testing hypotheses in the real market
- Every path validated before any final decision
- A numeric criterion defines when it is safe to move
- Guidance personalised to your Enneagram profile
- A complete dossier you take with you and keep using afterwards

I did not start talking about career redesign by observing other people. I started because I had to look more closely at my own trajectory and work out how to use everything I had already built in a different way.
What if the next chapter of your career turned out to be the best one?
Founding cohort
The programme is one-to-one, so the number of places is limited by the real capacity to guide each person properly across ten weeks. Anyone joining now joins at founding terms.
- Full Personal Map, with a three hour one-to-one debrief
- Eight live one-to-one sessions across ten weeks
- Check-ins during the fieldwork weeks
- An AI-guided platform throughout the programme
- A final dossier with every document you built
- A quarterly review booked in the final session
Starts with a 30 minute diagnostic conversation, no obligation.
The risk is mine, not yours.
If you do your part and the programme still does not deliver what it promises, you get the full investment back.
Until week 4
You have until the end of week four to request a full refund.
No bureaucracy
A written request is enough. No small print.
Mutual commitment
The guarantee applies to anyone who completed the exercises for each step.
No pressure
If it does not make sense for you in the first conversation, I will say so myself.
This condition works both ways. The result depends on real work, and the guarantee makes that explicit for both of us.
Before you start
You have thought about it enough.
Now it is time to test.
Thirty minutes is enough to know whether this makes sense for where you are. No obligation and no sales pitch: if I think it is not for you, I will say so on the call.
